Kimiko isn't just playing good for her age, she is playing good period. I'll go with her over Jill.

This should be a fun match to watch. I pick Date in 3, but it could honestly go either way :bounce:

Ughhh...Very frustrated with this draw :( I always putt for the veterens, so seeing this match up made me sad- at least one of them will win , and it will without a doubt be Jill the Giant Killer!! I'm sure Kimiko will give her a great match. I guess i can at least be happy Jilly isn't starting the year against Domachowska--:devil: I almost pooped when I saw the Craybas vs Domachowska thread.

Haha, i am a fan! I just think Date will win in 3 ;). But, I also like Date just asmuch as Jilly. I really don't like this 1st rd match up :sad:. Either way its a win/lose situation for me :lol::p

Honestly, I don't think this is good a draw for Kimiko. It would have been better for her to draw a younger, hard-hitting player who would get frustrated by Kimiko's old-school game.

Jill is a veteran player and she's at least familiar with the kind of shots Kimiko will give her, so she won't be offput by it. You've also got to factor in that Jill has played this tournament 11 years running now, so these courts are practically her backyard.
